@kentzurita1 Let me start out by saying I'm so very sorry that this is happening to you right now. But you're right, miracles do happen. When there's a heartbeat, there's hope, and you are five weeks post so that's incredible! My son just turned five last month, and he's a healthy and happy...

@trisha31 I know I'm a biased mom, but he's so perfect to me. :)

@awikiwiki Whenever I first got 15 ml I took a picture and sent it to my husband. Before that, I was only pulling 6 or so. I'm pretty happy with it!

@awikiwiki It's only been a week, but I'm only expressing 15 to 20 ml each time. It's a bit discouraging but I know that with my PCOS it will be less. I will likely have to do formula as well, but the way I see it, some breastmilk is better than no breastmilk.

@awikiwiki I've been pumping breastmilk for him, and the nurses are elated that I am. I guess it does wonders. Every day that I'm there, I do kangaroo care. Not only does it make him happy, it makes me happy, too. :)

@adadoyinamangbo I joined one called Moms of Super Preemies right after Terrance as born. It's been a world of information. And... Yikes, that is really scary!

@mjhavengasa Mine came all at once. At first, it was a slow leak, and I thought it was pregnancy discharge (I was told this could happen) and I put on a pad. Then I stood up from my computer chair and sploosh there was a huge puddle. Needless to say, I was scared pantsless. And look at you! You...

@mjhavengasa Thank you :) It is a weird feeling. I was without fluid for 10 whole weeks and I could feel every kick, jerk, and motion. He actually bruised me, and my placenta began fragmenting. D: How long were you ruptured?

@chuckm137 Nope, I have an automatic as well. My doctor told me the motions of switching petals could irritate my staples.

@chuckm137 I was told that the motions of me moving my leg on the pedals could affect my incision healing. I'm also on heavy painkillers (not that I take them). I had a vertical emergency cesarean.

@chuckm137 Oh it is driving me nuts, having to rely on other people!

@1morey That is good advice. We've been seeing him every day, but my husband feels sick today (and I can't drive with my cesarean incision) so we stayed home. I miss him terribly but I feel a bit more relaxed.

@chuckm137 That's my hope! I do think he'll make it out of the NICU. The doctor is optimistic. He's actually amazed, as am I!

@chuckm137 EUGH! Thanks for the warning.

@chuckm137 I told my husband about it and he thinks it is a good idea.

@chuckm137 I... actually had a huge problem this week with the guilt, but my husband helped me get through this. I know there was nothing I could do. Thank you. I'll definitely look that book up. Anything for comfort.

@1johnsmith3 Haha, oh yes, that is my hope!

Hello! I was sent here by a few people in /r/beyondthebump. This message is copy/pasted from there, so you don't have to re-read if you already have. :) I had my little boy Tuesday, Nov. 29th, at 1:14 in the morning. Terrance Daniel was born 2 lbs 6 oz and was 12.6 inches long. I was only able...
